Books for Authors, Experts, and Personal Stories
I help authors, experts, and people with personal book projects turn their manuscript into a finished book that is professionally designed and prepared for publication.
Depending on the project, this can include cover design, interior formatting, publishing support, Amazon presentation, launch visuals, and coordination with a trusted editor.
The goal is to make the process easier and keep the book, visuals, and publication materials working together from the start.
From Book Plan to Finished Book
A book project usually involves more than a cover. It may need formatting, print files, publishing setup, launch visuals, a website, or help coordinating the next steps.
I help bring these parts together so the book does not feel like a collection of separate pieces.
The cover, interior, online presentation, and promotional materials can all follow the same visual direction and support the same message.
When editing is needed, I can also coordinate with a trusted editor, so the manuscript, design, and publishing preparation stay connected as the book develops.
This helps the whole project move more smoothly, with a finished book that is professionally prepared for publication.
Who This Is For
This process is best for authors who want more than a quick cover or a basic file setup. It is for people who want their book handled with care, good design judgment and steady support from manuscript to finished book.
This is a good fit for:
✓ Authors with a manuscript, message, memoir, or personal story they want to turn into a finished book
✓ Founders, consultants, professionals and experts creating a book connected to their work or reputation
✓ Legacy and family-history clients who need a more personal and carefully paced process
✓ Authors who want support with design, formatting, publishing preparation and presentation materials
✓ People who prefer one guided process instead of coordinating several separate services on their own
This is not for
✓ Authors looking for the lowest-cost route to publication
✓ Projects that are rushed or need a full book completed very quickly
✓ Clients who prefer to manage every technical and design detail themselves
✓ Authors focused mainly on fast publishing tactics, quick Amazon results, or high-volume publishing

Meet Nada Orlić
the Designer Behind Erelis Design
I am Nada Orlic, the creative director behind Erelis Design, a boutique studio for bespoke book development.
With over 20 years of experience designing books for authors around the world, I now help guide projects from manuscript to finished edition through design, formatting, editorial coordination, and publishing guidance. My approach is personal, thoughtful, and carefully managed, bringing the visual and practical sides of the process together in a more coherent way.
I work especially well with legacy books, expert-led projects, and private editions that carry personal or professional significance. Whether the goal is to preserve a meaningful story or shape a polished book around your ideas and experience, I aim to create something distinctive, well-made, and true to the substance of the work.
When I am not working, you can usually find me with a novel in hand, a sketchbook nearby, or out in nature looking for quiet beauty and detail.
